Great discussions.

Thank you so much, this was the highlight of my work day. The information re: the disparity of scores between basic and medium DIBCAC assessments was enlightening and concerning. This podcast absolutely needs to be a regular item in the Summit 7 lineup, well done.

A weekly briefing on DoD cybersecurity regulation, focusing on CMMC developments, DFARS, and related standards (NIST SP 800-171/53, etc.).
